[00:00.00]John My Beloved - Sufjan Stevens
[00:24.79]Are we to speak first day of the week
[00:30.85]Stumbling words at the bar
[00:34.66]
[00:36.88]Beauty blue eyes my order of fries
[00:42.75]Long island kindness and wine
[00:46.37]
[00:48.72]Beloved of John I get it all wrong
[00:53.94]
[00:54.61]I read you for some kind of poem
[00:58.57]
[01:00.87]Covered in lines the fossils I find
[01:06.09]
[01:06.90]Have they no life of their own
[01:10.60]
[01:12.71]So can we pretend sweetly
[01:18.51]Before the mystery ends
[01:23.40]I am a man with a heart that offends
[01:28.29]With it's lonely and greedy demands
[01:33.38]
[01:35.09]There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking
[01:42.17]I'm dead
[01:43.92]
[01:48.78]Such a waste your beautiful face
[01:54.16]
[01:54.79]Stumbling carpet arise
[01:58.79]
[02:00.57]Go follow your gem your white feathered friend
[02:06.09]
[02:06.82]Icarus point to the sun
[02:10.61]
[02:12.56]If history speaks of two baby teeth
[02:18.01]
[02:18.56]I'm painting the hills blue and red
[02:22.72]
[02:24.66]They said beware lord hear my prayer
[02:29.99]
[02:30.58]I've wasted my throes on your head
[02:34.76]
[02:36.66]So can we be friends sweetly
[02:42.64]Before the mystery ends
[02:46.61]
[02:47.30]I love you more than the world can contain
[02:52.25]In it's lonely and ramshackle head
[02:57.32]
[02:59.13]There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking
[03:06.18]I'm dead
[03:07.71]
[03:36.59]I'm holding my breath
[03:39.12]
[03:39.63]My tongue on your chest
[03:42.05]
[03:42.78]What can be said of my heart
[03:46.75]
[03:48.56]If history speaks the kiss on my cheek
[03:54.00]
[03:54.67]Where there remains but a mark
[03:58.98]
[04:00.62]Beloved my John so I'll carry on
[04:06.00]
[04:06.76]Counting my cards down to one
[04:10.51]
[04:12.62]And when I am dead come visit my bed
[04:18.01]
[04:18.54]My fossil is bright in the sun
[04:22.36]
[04:24.66]So can we contend peacefully
[04:30.67]Before my history ends
[04:34.73]
[04:35.38]Jesus I need you be near me come shield me
[04:40.52]From fossils that fall on my head
[04:45.11]
[04:47.02]There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking
[04:54.07]I'm dead
